I bought an Uberiti 44 New Army Remington some time ago. It has been tuned by an Uberti gunsmith and a trigger job done afterwards
I finally got around to shooting it this week.
Loads, 25 yards and 50 yards, 20 grains of 3F, 18 grains of Cream Of Wheat for filler, covered in grease and .454 weighted balls.
At 25 and 50 yards, the first three(3) at each range are 9s and 10s, nice tight group. After that at 25 yards the group opened up like a hose, stays inside the 6 ring though.
At 50 yards, the group opened up and dropped into the 6 and 7 ring directly below the center of the 10 ring. Group is nothing to brag about.
Group center (left to rigth) is not a problem at either range. Each shot on the target was numbered as it was shot in the sequence of shooting.
Initially, I thought the opening up of the group was caused by a shift of my hand on the grip, riding up or down.
I finally got around to documenting the targets today and the load information into my book. That is when I realized that the accuracy goes south after the 3rd shot, 9s and 10 for 3 shots.
Do you think the group is blowing open with fouling? That is my initial thought after sitting here and looking at the targets and staring at them on the floor.
